"Obedience sums up our entire duty"

- Hosea Ballou 

In my own opinion what i think this quote means or what it is trying to say is that if we obey what we were told in the beginning then it reflects on us to determine whether we will do it or not it basically lets others know that we are trust worthy to take on any job big or small if we obey the directions told about the duty and do it right it reflects on you to be trusted with almost anything every job done right gives us a bit more freedom along with respect and trustworthiness
